Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The majority of missense variants in clinical genetic tests are classified as variants of uncertain significance. Prior research shows that the deleterious effects and the subsequent molecular consequences of variants are often conserved among paralogous protein sequences within a gene family. Here, we systematically quantify on an exome-wide scale whether the existence of pathogenic variants in...
